  1. RE: masto.ai/@GhostOnTheHalfShell/

    Ive been thinking this week about how there are about 50 countries n Europe & 50 states in the US..

    After starting 2 socialize n #onlinespaces –specifically ones for vegans,I have experienced a lot of h8 toward Americans & hate toward myself for being American.

    It’s no fun-& most of the time the hate comes from well-off Europeans. People with #freehealthcare and #livingwages. People with no fear of homelessness or where their next meal will b coming from.

    The same Europeans talk down to u once they hear u have the same accent that is in all the movies – all the while chastising “all of u” for “colonizing“ the country they once owned. Somehow forgetting that they were the ones that sent the genocidal boats over here n the first place.

    The same with anti-men rhetoric, there r plenty of people who think “the good ones” wont mind if they say that their country should be bombed &all of their people murdered.

    To these people I say–focus your damage on the true villains. The elite&the cruel. (cont.)#777exi.

  2. On June 19, 1865, enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their #freedom—two years after the #EmancipationProclamation. #Juneteenth is a reminder that #justice delayed is justice denied.

    Today, we honor the resilience of all who have fought for freedom. But we also recognize that the struggle is ongoing for #truefreedom: #economicjustice, #votingrights, #healthcare, #livingwages, and #dignityforall.

    When a "boss" pays Minimum Wage, all they are saying is "I'd pay you less but I'm afraid of being raped in a prison shower"

  8. Confused about how much to #tip? This article is the only 1 I’ve read that helped:

    How to deal with unexpected tip requests
    and other tricky tipping topics : Life Kit
    npr.org/2024/03/26/1196978930/

    It contains a tool to check the minimum & #subminimum #wages in your state. Other tips (pun intended:) include asking your #server if they get to keep the whole tip & how to make sure the server actually gets the tip (spoiler: cash$)

  9. Attention, Gen Z! With TikTok facing a potential ban in the US, it's crucial to have a backup plan for digital activism. Let's ensure platforms like TwitterX and Facebook don't aid in helping Trump get back in the Oval Office as well as abet right-wing political shifts that don't align with your values. Keep advocating for #VoteBlue, #ClimateAction, #StudentLoanForgiveness, #LGBTRights, #LivingWages, #GunControl, #SavePalestine, #BlackLivesMatter, and #SaveTikTok. Let's spread hope, not hate!

  10. It's good to see that the NYC Drivers' Cooperative is doing well and is ready to help Minneapolis drivers organize a sustainable ride-hailing service in Minnesota.

    They need to move quickly, because Uber and Lyft are planning to drop support for Minneapolis on May 1, when a new minimum wage ordinance goes into effect. They are crowdsourcing funds to cover startup costs, including customizing the NYC-focused ride-hailing app for use in Minneapolis.

    If you can help, donations are being collected here:

  11. Our 4H cooking club agreed to do only one fundraiser a year to raise the money they need to run the club. I have been tiredless promoting my work every day and often wish how nice it would be to only have that certain one time in the year I could make all the income to cover my expenses, pay my bills and have a bit extra to enjoy life. I would rather create art than spend time marketing any day. #artistlife #artbusiness #livingwages

  12. As seen on #maddowshow tonight

    Recent Gallup poll reveals: U.S. Approval of #LaborUnions at Highest Point Since 1965.

    71% of Americans now approve of labor unions. It is our best tool to combat the #greedflation that is lining corporate shareholders pockets and stripping us of our buying power. #Unions result in better benefits and #LivingWages for workers.

  13. Why is it legal to withhold pay from employees who don’t return uniforms? How is that not theft?

    I just watched a Dunkin Donuts manager (NOT the owner) inform a new employee of this policy on their first day.

    How is a uniform not simply cost of doing business? They already don’t pay a living wage, and they start the relationship with this immediate threat.

    Fuck corporations and shareholders.

  14. That we start paying all employees #LivingWages is so important. Does anyone know another IT company besides Fairphone that focuses on living wages for people in production chains?

  15. I'm thinking so-called #antivaxxers are to #PublicHealth what #LaborUnions are to #LivingWages

    History has proven that somebody DOES have to press the question of how much mercury is okay to inject into infants. Maybe it's only recent history but it's not irrelevant.

  16. UC Provost Michael T. Brown just sent a letter of intimidation to all UC faculty that seemed intended to undermine our support for the strike. 🧨 Backfire! I feel newly enraged and all-the-more supportive of our academic student employees, who are so much more vulnerable than we faculty are. UC TAs, postdocs, and others deserve #livingwages, #affordablehousing, and #workplaceequity.
